Three ways to pay for Macct
The price is the same however you pay: NOK 250 per month. The difference is whether you pay one month at a time automatically, or prepay as many months as you like.
| Payment method | How it works | Renews by itself? |
|---|---|---|
| Card or Klarna | The amount is charged at the start of each month until you cancel. | Yes, every month |
| Vipps | You choose how many months to extend and pay straight away. | No — you extend it yourself |
| Invoice from Malloc AS | You choose the number of months and get an invoice by email. | No — you extend it yourself |
Vipps and invoice are under «Extend subscription» on the same page as card payment. Use them if you do not want a subscription that renews automatically.
How to turn on card or Klarna
- Log in to Macct.
- Open System and help (Norwegian: System og hjelp) in the menu on the left, and choose Subscription (Abonnement).
- In the Card or Klarna section, press «Start subscription with card or Klarna».
- You are sent to a secure payment page from Stripe. Choose card or Klarna, and pay.
- You come back to the Subscription page with the message «Thank you! The payment is being processed». After a few seconds it says «Active — renews automatically» and the date of the next payment.
What happens every month
- The monthly amount is charged to your card, or through Klarna, at the start of each period.
- The subscription is extended automatically. You get no «your subscription is expiring» emails, because it is not.
- You get an invoice from Malloc AS by email, which you book as an ordinary expense. Receipts for every charge are under «View payments and receipts».
- The next payment date is always shown on the Subscription page.
If a payment fails
If the card has expired or is blocked, or there are not enough funds, the Subscription page says «The payment could not be completed» at the top, with a button to update your payment method. The charge is retried automatically.
- You keep access to Macct for 14 days from the start of the period while we retry.
- No data is deleted or locked because a payment fails.
- If it is never paid, the subscription lapses. You can still log in, view and keep your accounts; what is closed is filing to Altinn until the subscription is paid.
Sometimes your bank wants to confirm a payment. The page then says «Your bank needs to confirm the payment». Press «Payment information» and complete the confirmation, and the payment goes through.
Change card, get receipts and cancel
You do everything from the buttons under «Card or Klarna» on the Subscription page:
| Button | What you can do |
|---|---|
| Payment information | See the subscription, the next payment and your payment method. |
| Change payment method | Add a new card or another payment method. |
| View payments and receipts | Download receipts for every charge. |
| Cancel subscription | Stop the renewal. You keep access until the end of the period you have paid for. |
| Resume subscription | Undo a cancellation before the period ends. |
The buttons open a secure page from Stripe, and you come back to Macct when you are done. Paid time is not refunded when you cancel. This is in the terms of use, section 3.
Who are Stripe and Klarna?
Stripe
Stripe (Stripe Payments Europe Ltd) is the payment service that takes the payment for Macct. The payment page you are sent to is Stripe's, and it is Stripe that charges the amount every month. Your card number is stored by Stripe, not by Macct. Macct never sees the card number.
Klarna
Klarna (Klarna Bank AB) is a payment service many people know from online shopping. If you choose Klarna on the payment page, the payment goes through Klarna instead of straight from the card. Which options you get with Klarna is decided by Klarna.
Macct only lets card and Klarna through, also when you change payment method later.
Where in Macct this is used
| Place in Macct | Card or Klarna? |
|---|---|
| Subscription (System and help) | Yes — this is where you pay for Macct. |
| Invoices you send | No — your customers pay to the account number on the invoice. |
| Bank and reconciliation | No — paying for Macct by card does not affect your bank connection. |
If you pay for other services by card, for example an online shop that uses Stripe, you book them as ordinary expenses. Upload the receipt, and Macct suggests the entry.
Frequently asked questions
I do not see «Card or Klarna» on the Subscription page. Why?
The section is not shown for demo and test companies, nor for companies with a separate agreement for the subscription. If you already have an active card subscription, you see the payment information buttons instead of the start button.
Can I switch from card to Vipps or invoice?
Yes. Cancel the card subscription under Subscription. When the period you have paid for ends, extend with Vipps or invoice under «Extend subscription».
Can I switch from Vipps or invoice to card?
Yes, any time. Start the card subscription. If you have paid time left, the first charge only happens when it is used up.
Is there a commitment period?
No. Cancel whenever you like, and access lasts until the end of the period you have paid for.
Do I get an invoice I can book in my accounts?
Yes. Every payment gives an invoice from Malloc AS by email, and the receipts are under «View payments and receipts». If we refund a payment, you get a credit note automatically.
Who do I contact if something is wrong with a payment?
Write to firmapost@macct.no with the name of your company and the date of the payment.
